    This document provides instructions for making a simple parachute toy out of string, a cloth square, and a button. The string is threaded through the button and tied to each corner of the cloth to create the parachute. Small objects can be attached below the button to experiment with how different weights affect the speed and path of the parachute's descent from various heights when dropped.

    Make a Parachute Toy

    Collect This Activity

    What You Need:


     String
     Bandana or small piece of cloth
     Button with four holes
     Pipe cleaner, small stone, action figure or
    other small objects

    What You Do:


    1. Build the toy: Cut four equal pieces of string, about 18-24 inches in length. Thread
    each string through a separate hole in the button, then tie them together, leaving a few
    inches trailing at the bottom.
    2. Lay out your bandana or cloth and stretch the other ends of the strings, taping one
    string to each corner of the bandana. Voila! You've got a parachute.
    3. Make predictions: Ask your child what he thinks will happen when you drop the
    parachute. Will it matter if you drop it from a high height or a low one? Will it matter if
    you attach a stone or other object underneath the button? Will any of these things affect the
    speed the parachute falls or the path it takes? Have your child make predictions. Then take
    the chute out for some experimentation! Attach a figure weaved out of the pipe cleaner.
    Next, tie on something heavier. Drop the parachute from various heights and angles. What
    happens?
